WOW --- What A Ride!!
``Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body.
But rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used-up, totally worn-out, and loudly proclaiming:

  WOW  ---  What A Ride!!"

 

Below 2 pics were snapped from early stages of the 2004 Tour de France.

 


The above 1st pic of a cyclist from RaboBank might epitomise the afore-mentioned philosophy about 'giving it your all', even if it entails a few 'lumps 'n bumps'
But the pic on RHS, where the poor unfortunate seems to be left-for-dead, definitely don't imbue the afore-mentioned ethos, predicated upon the fundamental aphorism that "we've only got one life", so "pack as much in as you can".   But not if you are going to end-up like the TdeF competitor on the RHS.
